A Landmark Office Building in Bangalore

Arvind Commercial Office BuildingBangalore, India

Arvind Realty asked HOK to design a landmark commercial office building in Bangalore.

The simple lines and contemporary look create a timeless building design.

Challenged by a square-shaped site, the team studied several alternatives for developing an interesting layout with and without using atriums. Arvind ultimately selected a scheme that creates a “through-street” atrium that provides an open feel.

By including a half-basement, HOK’s team created five usable floors within the stipulated height restriction. The design adds open space by incorporating a multi-level atrium with a non-structural roof.

Etensive solar analyses and shading studies enabled the team to determine the appropriate amount of glazing for the building.
